I respond to the Thursday letter "Voting-times argument doesn't wash" from Robert C. Mayer. I am not, as Mayer seems to think, nor probably is he, one of the "under-resourced" people who are unemployed, "which means that they have all day to get to the polls."

I am, and I assume Mayer is as well, an "average voter who has to try and fit in-person voting into his busy schedule."

Mayer made the perfect argument for having evening and Sunday voting hours. I work 9 to 5 and may have to be away on Election Day and I prefer voting in person. Why not have one or two evenings a week and a Sunday available so I can exercise my constitutional right to vote?
